Cammag, the ancient Manx sport! Hundreds of years ago, before modern sports like football , hockey, cricket and rugby had been invented, there was a sport in the Isle of Man which was so popular sometimes 200 people played it at once ! There is only one rule; that there are no rules! That sport is ‘cammag’. It is a very rough game a little bit like hockey. There are two teams and every player has a camman or bent stick. Teams use their sticks to try and move the crig (a wooden ball) in to the goal to score. Players can even kick the crig or pick it up and run with it, if they are brave enough to risk being hit with everyone else’s sticks. Cammag was played everywhere from schoolyards to village greens, and there can be anything from 2 players to hundreds! It is a little bit like the traditional sports of hurling in Ireland, shinty in Scotland and bando in Wales. There is records of huge matches in the Isle of Man, sometimes between whole villages with a ‘pitch’ covering miles and miles. There is even a record from 1760 of three men and a boy in trouble with the church for playing cammag on a Sunday. Even though it was the most popular sport in the island, once football arrived around 1900 then cammag became forgotten. Apart from once a year! Is it still around today? Nowadays, every Christmas on St Stephen’s Day (Boxing Day) hundreds of people come to St John’s for a big game of cammag, the north versus the south. It is all good fun, and people bring all sorts of different home-made camman (sticks). The traditional camman is cutting a nice thick piece of bent gorse, but people play with umbrellas, brooms… Mr Brooks has even seen people playing with a welly sellotaped to the end of a pole! After the game, everyone meets in the Tynwald Inn pub for food, drink, music and singing. What do you think about the ancient Manx sport of cammag? Would you like to try it one Christmas? Ask someone else in your house to read this too and talk about what you both think! .

The island has been inhabited since before 6500 BC. In the 9th century, Norsemen established the Kingdom of the Isles. Magnus III, King of Norway, was also known as King of Mann and the Isles between 1099 and 1103. In 1266, the island became part of Scotland and came under the feudal lordship of the English Crown in 1399. It never became part of the Kingdom of Great Britain or its successor the United Kingdom, retaining its status as an internally self-governing Crown dependency. http://iominternationalchess.com/ For a small country, sport in the Isle of Man plays an important part in making the island known to the wider world.

Read Full License Page 1/10 Abstract Background: Immigrants constitute 30% of Canada’s older adult population. Immigrant older adults have low levels of physical activity coupled with higher risks for cardiovascular disease and obesity in some sub-populations. Community group-based physical activity programs combine both physical and social benets and are well received by older adults. These programs often lack sensitivity to the needs of equity-deserving groups, such as immigrants, who continue to experience lower levels of participation. Local, accessible, and culturally informed approaches are required to remedy these well documented inequities in who has access to and benets from such programs. There is a gap, however, in our understanding of the characteristics and conditions for effective program design and delivery when the target population is immigrant older adults.
